Papillon Lyrics in English David Carreira
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Papillon by David Carreira from Portuguese to English.
Eh papillon de ma vie on ne m'a jamais fait ça
Eh butterfly of my life, no one has ever done this to me
Eh papillon tu m'a pris mon cœur et je n'est pas eu le choix
Eh butterfly, you took my heart and I had no choice
Je ne me rappelle pas d'avoir aimé
I don't remember loving
Une fleur aussi jolie que toi
A flower as pretty as you
Cette fois-ci je suis bien décidé
This time I'm truly decided
Posé genou à terre pour toi
Kneeling on the ground for you
Eh papillon j'ai la visions de nos deux mains dans la main
Eh butterfly, I have a vision of our two hands, hand in hand
Eh papillon dis-moi si on pourrait aller un peu plus loin
Eh butterfly, tell me if we could go a little further
Danse avec moi jusqu'à l'aube
Dance with me until dawn
Je t'en supplie ne t'en va pas
I beg you, don't go
Repose ta tête sur mon épaule
Rest your head on my shoulder
Joli papillon de nuit
Pretty night butterfly
T'envoleras-tu dès les premiers rayons de soleil aussi?
Will you fly away at the first rays of sun too?
Tu m'accompagneras dans les jardin d'Éden
You will accompany me to the Garden of Eden
Passons ma belle je suis qu'un homme qui se reste dans les rappels
Let's move on, my beautiful, I'm just a man who dwells on memories
Un gentleman, un homme honnête, un homme qui t'aime, t'aime, t'aime simplement
A gentleman, an honest man, a man who loves you, loves you, simply loves you
Eh papillon
Eh butterfly
Eh papillon
Eh butterfly
Eh papillon y a pas de violon lorsque je parle de bague au doigt
Eh butterfly, there's no violin when I speak of a ring on your finger
Eh papillon je parlais d'union comme tu sais moi je ne joue pas
Eh butterfly, I was talking about union, as you know I don't play
Tu tombes alors que j'ai vu ton sourire? Je ne le saurais pas vraiment l'expliquer
You fall when I saw your smile? I wouldn't really know how to explain it
Vivant jusqu'à ton dernier soupir? Je te l'avouerai que cela est mon souhait
Living until your last breath? I'll confess to you that this is my wish
Papillon j'ai la vision de nos deux mains dans la main
Butterfly, I have a vision of our two hands, hand in hand
Dis-moi si oh mon papillon nous nous reverrons après la nuit
Tell me if, oh my butterfly, we'll see each other again after the night
T'envoleras-tu dès les premier rayons de soleil aussi?
Will you fly away at the first rays of sun too?
Tu m'accompagneras dans les jardin d'Éden
You will accompany me to the Garden of Eden
Passons ma belle je suis qu'un homme qui se reste dans les rappels
Let's move on, my beautiful, I'm just a man who dwells on memories
Un gentleman un homme honnête un homme qui t'aime t'aime t'aime simplement
A gentleman, an honest man, a man who loves you, loves you, simply loves you
Qui t'aime t'aime t'aime simplement
Who loves you, loves you, simply loves you
Qui t'aime t'aime t'aime simplement
Who loves you, loves you, simply loves you
Qui t'aime t'aime t'aime simplement
Who loves you, loves you, simply loves you
Qui t'aime t'aime t'aime simplement
Who loves you, loves you, simply loves you
Joli papillon de nuit
Pretty night butterfly
T'envoleras tu des les premier rayons de soleil aussi
Will you fly away at the first rays of sun too
Tu m'accompagneras dans les jardin d'Éden
You will accompany me to the Garden of Eden
Passons ma belle je suis qu'un homme qui se reste dans les rappels
Let's move on, my beautiful, I'm just a man who dwells on memories
Un gentleman un homme honnête un homme qui t'aime, t'aime, t'aime simplement
A gentleman, an honest man, a man who loves you, loves you, simply loves you
Qui t'aime, t'aime, t'aime simplement
Who loves you, loves you, simply loves you

papillon — butterfly
Papillon is the French word for "butterfly". While the song is by a Portuguese artist, this particular track is predominantly in French, making papillon a central and recurring motif.
In the song, the singer uses "papillon" as a tender term of endearment for his beloved, comparing her to a beautiful, delicate butterfly. He expresses his desire for her to stay with him, fearing she might fly away like a butterfly at the first rays of sunlight. This metaphor adds a layer of poetic beauty and vulnerability to his declarations of love.
